Fatburger Operator To Raise Prices

[WhiteKnight77]

I'm a California restaurant operator preparing for the $20-an-hour fast-food wage by trimming hours, eliminating employee vacation, and raising menu prices[www.businessinsider.com].

As seen where some Pizza Hut franchisees will be or have laid off some 1200 delivery drivers, raises to such for minimum wage has consequences.

The owner above stated he will no longer be hiring teens, but instead, those who worked at Chili's, Appleby's etc. since they are not getting raises, but have experience in service.

He should just replace his burger flippers with an assembly robot.[sf.eater.com]

There are two Hell's Kitchen restaurants.

If only our wise governor saw this coming...
Oh wait, he's the one leading this charge. Why is it we can't vote him out before this takes effect? And the legislature is complicit and should be replaced immediately.

Its a law of fast food, it should be cheap. Period end of sentence. and jobs at such places should by design be low-risk low requirement introductions to the workplace usually as first jobs for high schoolers and up.

Clearly the success of businesses is not something these people have in mind. The madness must end and it starts with legal registered California voters not being lied to on the ballot itself.

It applies only to "fast food places with over 60 stores"

So watch as California "fast food" places start calling themselves "restaurants" and bringing your food to your table to get around the law like Carl's Jr. used to.

He already avoids placing locations near interstates in order to limit volume of operation costs.

Is that an issue?

You can fire them. Just start the proceedings.

Fast food is garbage, so watching them get destroyed by stupid laws is just kind of funny.

You know the answer will be Tesla bots when you price humans out the equation.

$20 is base cost without benefits and the rest, but even using that calculation a full work year is 40k, a robot can work 24/7 instead for that if not much more.

Fast food restaurants used to be a place for teens to get work experience, but over the last 10 years or so, unions such as the Telecomm Workers of America (that AT&T workers are part of) as well as others started pushing the narrative that fast food workers should be paid $15 an hour, and as seen, there are places that are now on the bandwagon of giving fast food workers that and more.

The (word that would possibly get me banned) politicians are now making it harder for teens to get those jobs as seen by the operator of the noted burger place. They also have taken jobs that did pay $15 that needed specialized training to be worthless jobs that no one would want to take. This had been brought up many times in the past, but those politicians don't understand that. Those are needed jobs that people will avoid to go work at fast food jobs instead.

The flip side is this could be a very good thing.

Many of these job losses may not be such a bad thing. Many of those jobs are terrible miserable wastes of time. Many of those places are wildly overstaffed.

Many times there is too much focus on the number of sheer jobs out there while totally ignoring the quality aspect.

Its not good when they are the stepping stone jobs for young people while we continue to flood low skill labor across the border.

They already lack quality no matter what the workers are paid. There is a reason why I stopped buying McDonald's anywhere. If I order a Quarter Pounder with Cheese with no pickle, and the cheese isn't melted, that is not quality, that is not something I would serve anyone.

this is not a good way to win votes with the californian people. how are they going to eat their fat burger!? the hell

I hear that one.

Consider that cutting the staffing(when it's overstaffed) may actually help from this POV:

When these places are overstaffed everyone kinda mills around. Sometimes making them hustle a bit actually gets them focused.

Newsom survived one recall already which is why he's going nuts with these harmful policies. He's emboldened to keep doing whatever he's being ordered to do by the unions and other interests. The old reliable news media appears to be under state control so you'll never hear about it with any criticism.
Conservatives who have been the silenced majority(probably for redistricting reasons only, we might be a blue state by raw numbers) need to keep doing the media's job for them. An uninformed public is an easily controlled one and thats when politicians are most dangerous.
